Instruction manual PRIOLITE M-PACK 500 / M-PACK 1000 (HS) + PRIO HEAD 1000
Intended
use.
This power pack is intended for mobile use in professional photography in the studio or on
location. Its purpose is the provision of electrical power for flash generation. The generated
power output is delivered to the flash head. The units must not be used for any other
purpose.
Power packs store energy in capacitors by collecting high voltages, which creates
particular sources of danger. Before using this unit, read and comply the following
safety instructions.
Safety
instructions.
Flash units may not be operated without supervision.
◊
◊
Always use extreme care when handling power packs and flash heads. Damages to
flashtubes should be excluded. A damaged flash tube poses a risk of severe injury
or death, as the voltage-carrying electrodes are exposed and you might come in
contact with them. Therefore, in case of a damaged flash tube the power pack
must be switched off immediately and the flash head disconnected from the
generator. For safety reasons, before exchanging the flash tube you must wait at least
5 minutes after separating the flash head from the switched-off power pack to ensure
that the capacitors have completely discharged via the internal safety circuit. The same
applies to any type of maintenance work or before transports, which may be undertaken
on the units only when they have been switched off/separated and after the waiting
period has expired.
Contact with the capacitor voltage is life-threatening; thus, the opening of the casing and
◊
repairs on power packs and flash heads must be carried out only by authorized
customer service personnel.
Only the provided original PRIOLITE charger must be used for charging the batteries.
◊
Before each use, check to ensure that the casing as well as all cables, connectors and
sockets are in good, undamaged condition. Otherwise operation of this device is
forbidden; damaged units and/or cables must be repaired or replaced by authorized
customer service personnel.
◊
Flash heads must be operated only with a properly mounted glass dome, as flash tubes
can explode due to the development of overpressure.
◊
It is particularly important to protect power packs and flash heads from moisture, splash
water, and impacts during use or transport. These units are not designed for operation
in dusty environments. Flash systems must never be used in potentially explosive
areas; to prevent the risk of fire, do not store flammable materials (e.g. decorative
materials, paper, etc.) in the immediate vicinity of the flash units.
Do not insert any objects into the ventilation slits or the charging or synchronization
◊
sockets. The ventilation slits must be kept clear during operation.
Flash units mounted on pantographs, ceiling systems, or extended stands must be
◊
doubly secured against falling down.
